Traveling can be rough all year 'round, but especially during the holidays. These travel hacks may just save the day at the perfect moment - so pack your bags and arrive prepared for absolutely anything.

Traveling isn't always as simple as you'd like it to be. Bringing a 2-in-1 bag like this Jack & Jill 2-in-1 Duffle Bag Backpack can be a lifesaver! Carry it as a backpack while you're lugging around suitcases, and use it as an over-sized bag while walking around town.

Worst case scenario: your phone dies on the plane and you're unable to order an Uber. Best case scenario? You have a spare portable charger to power all your devices while you're traveling. With more and more electronics like e-readers and tablets in our lives - this is a must-buy.

It's easy to pack away your various chargers in your checked baggage without thinking about long flights and weather delays. Here's a hack that will come in handy: always stash an extra cable in your purse or carry-on just in case. This 3-pack even makes it affordable to have extra cables wherever you need one.

The Rolo Bag is one of our favorite travel hacks - and so simple at that! Simply pack your belongings in the compartments of this bag, roll it up and stick it in your luggage. When you arrive, hang it on a door for your own personal, organized closet. No unpacking, no disorganization.

Sleeping on a plane, train or bus is hard enough without wires in the way! These SainSonic Wireless HD Stereo Earphones make it easy to listen to your favorite music or movies without getting tangled up.

Let's face it. Most of our photos come from our travels. Use a flexible tripod to take better photos with your phone or even snap great group shots without bothering a stranger. Your photo albums will thank you.

The biggest bummer is when you miss a great shot due to the wrong lighting or a bad angle. The Lytro Illum Camera is the ultimate travel camera because it actually lets you refocus or change the perspective on your images after the fact.

Okay, so maybe there is one thing worse than a check engine light. A dead battery. Never fear being stuck in the middle of nowhere again.
